What Job Haven't You Done ......

[GMES]

So has Electricians is there any electrical job that you haven't been able to do during your careers that you would love to have a go at.
I think Iwould like to have a crack at something like a castle or possibly a large theatre.

What about everyone else........

 

[Sintra]

Never really had the pleasure of working in houses apart from my own or for family and I'm glad. Wish I could have had more time in heavy industry like quarries etc.

 

[GMES]

Yeah I've done a bit in a couple of quarries.

 

[LankyWill]

I want to see more industrial work, im sick off doing domestic crap!

Have changed meters in some interesting places, water tower, wind mill. When sparking, done a mental asylum that was bloody scary.!

 

[telectrix]

i oncedid some work in a mental security institution. i felt quite at home.

 

[GMES]

^^^^ I would imagine working in a really old asylum would be quite spooky and not a job I would want to do without a few lads working as a team to pass the time.

Wandsworth Prison and a Ferrari show room in london- both as an apprentice- pretty wide contrast lol

I'd like to have a go at working in somewhere like Disneyland, where there's a big secret backstage area which you wouldn't otherwise get to see. Not only that but making things work which the general public have experienced the effects of but hadn't considered were even there, like wiring up the thing that makes the haunted house smell all spooky.

Either that or somewhere with a lot of history behind it - maybe a castle or palace, cathedral, or the houses of parliament; I've heard there's a lot of work that needs doing on that place. It doesn't matter what the exact job is, but imagine being able to tell people you've changed the light bulb which lights up the clock face on Elizabeth tower, or run some tray in the undercroft where Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plot was foiled.

I would have liked to have worked abroad and seen more of the world whilst younger. I rule this out now as being close to my family is everything.

I have worked in a local mental hospital/prison before, upgrading EM lighting. Was a tense few weeks.

 

[Wonderwall]

I've never worked on the rigs. Had a few opportunities but never fancied it.

Done a little work in a children's hospice which dosent half put things in perspective.

HV, distribution, power stations...

 

[PEG]

Pretty much done the variety thing,with industrial,commercial and domestic,3 nuke sites,2 steelworks and just about most construction scenarios...been states and Israel...fairly unshockable now...even watched a neighbours numb son,as a kid,attempt to revive his recently run over yorkshire terrier,using the leads off a battery charger...(alarming and un-fruitful...)

I suppose ,if there has to be a job i may have shined at,it would have been Ian Brady's ECT machine operator...almost certain it would have required much larger capacitors...

 

[ruston]

I would have liked to be around in the early days when things were not taken for granted the way it is now.
Imagine going to a lecture given by Tesla and his like.
Nowadays we are surprised by very little.

Youre right there. I've enabled an RSS feed from an electrical section of a science website and they're finding things and creating things daily, yet nobody is reading or commenting on them. I'm even worried a bit thinking it might be annoying some members having them posted every day.
